The claim was met with stony silence during the recording and has since been condemned by those of us with half a brain and sense of decency (though we've had to stifle our yawns first). Predictably, though, if utterly incomprehensibly, Moz still has his acolytes and apologists, who have been quick to argue that their hero isn't racist and that he's only being painted as such by the media, who are willfully distorting the truth. I'm sorry, but he's looked, walked and quacked like a duck for some years now, so it's beyond reasonable doubt that he's a duck. Case closed.
